Country houses for sale

A sprawling country residence near Windsor that offers an exciting renovation opportunity

Offering just under 9,000 sq ft of flexible accommodation space — including a staff flat and three-bed annexe — The Old Vicarage, located in the village of Winkfield, makes for an enticing property.

The library at The Old Vicarage at Winkfield, near Windsor, with its handsome fireplace, panelling and shelving, is not the only feature of note; the drawing and dining rooms have large picture windows looking over the eight-acre grounds—home to a magnificent cedar, swimming pool, paddocks and tennis court—and there’s also a wine cellar.

Seven bedrooms occupy the main house, including a 30ft master with en-suite bathroom. Further accommodation is found in a one-bedroom staff flat and three-bedroom guest annexe; outbuildings include a vine house.

The Old Vicarage is currently on the market via Savills with a guide price of £4.95 million — see more pictures or enquire with the agent for further details.
